Schemes After the Death of a Nine Star Dou King

Little Er Ha had already released Wind Blades from afar, drawing the Grand Eunuch Puppet's attention.

Then, with a Teleport skill, he appeared directly in front of the Grand Eunuch Puppet. Catching it off guard, he struck sparks from its chest with several blows!

However, although Little Er Ha's claws were sharp, they were still unable to harm the Grand Eunuch Puppet.

But that was already enough!

Little Er Ha had drawn the Grand Eunuch Puppet's attention. A low-intelligence Puppet without anyone actively controlling it would attack whoever was closest first.

At that moment, the Grand Eunuch Puppet was completely defenseless against Feng Wu!

"Little Er Ha, danger! Get in!" Feng Wu shouted at Little Er Ha, leaving no room for refusal.

With an outstretched palm, the space where Little Er Ha stood blurred away. The Grand Eunuch Puppet's fierce counterattack—its fists and kicks—all struck empty air!

Feng Wu recalled Little Er Ha into the Pet Space!

Within a range of ten meters, Feng Wu could freely recall and release Little Er Ha at will.

The Grand Eunuch Puppet's consecutive strikes all missed, and Little Er Ha escaped disaster. Instead, the Puppet had thrown itself off balance, exposing countless openings!

How could Feng Wu possibly miss such an opportunity? With a roar, he charged forward!

From only a few meters away, the off-balance Grand Eunuch Puppet had no time to react at all!

This time, Feng Wu did not hold back his Dou Qi. He crazily poured fire-attributed Flame Fire Dou Qi into the Fire Tipped Spear. Surging Peach Blossom Flame spread across his entire body as his power erupted to its peak!

"Clang!" With a single straight slash, Feng Wu wielded the spear like a greatsword and smashed it directly into the gash he had already made!

"Clang! Bang!" Two more full-force swings followed, and the spear marks on the Grand Eunuch Puppet were now more than an inch deep!

Only then did the Grand Eunuch Puppet recover from its setback.

But at that very moment, Feng Wu released Little Er Ha from the Pet Space again, summoning him directly to the unguarded side of the Grand Eunuch Puppet!

It had the same effect as Little Er Ha's Teleport ambush. Feng Wu repeated the same trick!

There was no such thing as "never falling for the same trick twice" in a Puppet's solid head. If it had fallen for it once, it could be fooled a second time!

Wherever it fell, it would fucking smash its head there until it died!

Feng Wu and Little Er Ha had bugged it out.

The only reason the Grand Eunuch Puppet had lasted this long was because its hide was truly thick. If it had been a real Dou Master standing before Feng Wu and Little Er Ha, Feng Wu would have already skewered it with one thrust.

Still, no matter how thick the Grand Eunuch Puppet's armor was, as long as Feng Wu could break through its defenses and find the right method, taking it down was only a matter of time.

"One last time!" Half an hour later, Feng Wu roared as he used every last bit of strength to drive the Fire Tipped Spear into the energy storage compartment, which he had already battered beyond recognition.

With a crack, an armor plate far thicker and heavier than that of a Tier 3 Puppet fell to the ground. Several Magic Crystals scattered out, and the Grand Eunuch Puppet collapsed amid dense Dou Qi, its fire extinguished.

"Whew... that wasn't easy!"

Feng Wu wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. Fully activating the Fire Tipped Spear, coupled with using the Flame Fire Body, had consumed an enormous amount of Dou Qi.

"But this Dou Wang really was extravagant—Fourth Order Magic Crystals!" Feng Wu reached down and gathered the Magic Crystals from the ground.

There were a full ten Fourth Order Magic Crystals!

At this level, Magic Crystals were generally only traded through barter, since few people were willing to exchange them otherwise.

They had a price, but buying them with money was very, very difficult.

After storing the Grand Eunuch Puppet in his Storage Ring as well, the last Tier 3 Puppet was even less worth mentioning. Taking it down was a sure thing.

Half an hour later, Feng Wu stood atop the jade steps before the Dou Wang's corpse. Three metal treasure chests sat before him.

"Anything placed beside one's own corpse must be the best stuff!" Feng Wu was rather excited, eager to see what great gift had been left for him!

The chest was not locked, merely a little heavy.

With a hard upward pull, Feng Wu flipped it open. Inside lay a fiery red cultivation scroll and a Soul Jade token.

Before Feng Wu could reach for them, a faint blue-green light suddenly radiated from the jade token.

It spread into the air before Feng Wu, condensing into the image of a tall figure seen from behind. One glance was enough to tell how imposing it was.

A mighty pressure even surged forth and bore down on Feng Wu!

"Hmph! You're nothing but the lingering projection of a remnant soul. What are you acting so arrogant for?" Feng Wu refused to yield. His Third Order Soul Power erupted, forcibly crushing back the pressure emitted by the remnant soul projection!

Even the projection of the remnant soul itself began to waver, flickering like television static.

A wisp of remnant soul that had been worn down by the world for who knew how long—even if its original body had been a Dou Wang, trying to suppress Feng Wu was seriously underestimating him!

"Ah... later arrival, congratulations on passing all of my trials!" Its pressure having been forced back, the remnant soul's back-facing projection actually spoke these words.

"Having passed my trials, you are qualified to become my successor. Young man, everything in this tomb is now yours!" the remnant soul projection declared solemnly.

"Hmph! You want to play the whore and still build a shrine to your virtue!" Feng Wu had already broken through every defense here. Whether he took anything or not was entirely up to him; it had nothing to do with this Dou Wang anymore!

"You're saying all that just to leave yourself an intact corpse, aren't you?" Feng Wu said disdainfully.

Judging by how new all the mechanisms here were, there had never been the slightest intention of testing someone for an inheritance.

They had all been designed solely to kill intruders.

And in the end, this Dou Wang still wanted to trick whoever came here into remembering his kindness? Feng Wu sneered. How naïve!

With a wave of his hand, his Soul Power swept away the remnant soul that was about to say more. The illusion vanished, and Feng Wu reached for the Soul Jade at the bottom of the chest.

"You don't need to tell me. I'll see for myself!" Feng Wu picked up the jade token and directly invaded it with his Soul Power, examining the information recorded within.

"Heh. What a joke!" Two minutes later, Feng Wu disdainfully crushed the entire jade token into powder.

The jade token recorded that this was the tomb of a genius Nine Star Dou King, one capable of fighting a Two Star Dou Emperor. That matched Feng Wu's guess.

He had died after capturing a Fifth Rank Alchemist and forcing him to refine pills. He was later pursued until severely wounded by the Alchemist's "friends," fled, and ultimately died from his injuries!

All the items on the left side of the tomb had belonged to that Fifth Rank Alchemist. With no hope of surviving, the gravely injured Nine Star Dou King had simply dragged the Fifth Rank Alchemist down to the grave with him.

It had to be said that he had been truly bold—and truly vicious!

But he had also died because of that very boldness. Provoking an Alchemist was like poking a hornet's nest. In the end, he had brought it upon himself.

"And you want me to go to your clan as your successor, receive their training, and even command your descendants and forces? What a huge fantasy you're selling!"

Feng Wu casually tossed away all the shattered jade fragments and clapped his hands. "If I really went, I'd probably be treated as a grave robber, hacked into a thousand pieces, and never leave alive, right?"

"Do you really think everyone is an idiot?" Feng Wu sneered as he reached for the cultivation scroll inside the chest...
